Soul...Remember

Soul Remember

There are moments in life when we feel disconnected from ourselves, others and even our Higher Power.

We may still be functioning, achieving, managing responsibilities, and showing up for others, yet somewhere beneath the surface there is a quiet feeling that something essential has been forgotten.

Not lost—forgotten. Forgotten beneath stress, disappointment, fear, over-identification with problems, or the relentless noise of the world.

This week, I invite us into a sacred practice I call Soul Remember.

Soul remembering is not about becoming something new. It is about awakening to what has always been true.

In the Science of Mind philosophy, we understand that our spiritual nature is whole, complete, and forever connected to Divine Life. The soul does not forget its Source—but our conscious awareness sometimes does. We become hypnotized by appearances. We begin to believe that limitation defines us, that circumstances have the final word, or that fear speaks louder than Truth.

But the soul gently whispers otherwise.

Soul remembering happens when we pause long enough to listen.

Have you ever been guided by your soul to do something, and then someone looking on from the sidelines says, “Oh no you need to do this, instead?”

This usually means the person is not listening to the voice of their own soul because as we cultivate the practice of listening, we will honor the witness consciousness within, understanding that everyone is doing the best that they can, knowing what they know.

We know that the Divine is in charge and all is well, so we can relinquish control of people, places and circumstances knowing that the Soul knows, and the Soul shows.

This deep listening happens in meditation, when silence becomes louder than anxiety. It happens in prayer, when we reconnect with possibility instead of resignation. It happens in moments of awe—in nature, music, service, community, or simple stillness—when something within us quietly says, “Ah yes… this is who I really am. And this is what my soul is guiding me to do…”

To remember the soul is to remember:

You are more than your setbacks.

You are more than your title, role, or bank account.

You are more than what happened to you.

At the center of your being is a Presence untouched by fear, lack, confusion, or temporary conditions.

That Presence is wisdom.

That Presence is peace.

That Presence is strength.

And yes—that Presence is love.

Not a love that is isolated or possessed, but a love that expands when it is shared. In the consciousness of unity, love is multiplied; in community, it is amplified. When we remember our interconnectedness, we discover that the love moving through one heart strengthens the whole. The soul knows that we were never meant to walk alone, and that healing often deepens when we gather, support, pray, serve, and grow together.

When life becomes overwhelming, soul remembering becomes a spiritual necessity. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” perhaps the deeper question is, “What truth about myself have I forgotten?”

• Have I forgotten that I am guided?

• Have I forgotten that life is still working through me?

• Have I forgotten that Divine Love has not abandoned me—and that it often reaches me through the presence of others?

• Have I forgotten that new possibilities can emerge at any moment?

The work of spiritual living is often less about striving and more about remembering.

• Remembering that abundance is our nature.

• Remembering that forgiveness frees us.

• Remembering that peace is not the absence of difficulty but the presence of spiritual grounding.

• Remembering that we belong to something greater than fear.

• Remembering that love grows stronger when we live from a consciousness of unity, compassion, and community.

This week, I encourage you to create intentional moments of soul remembrance. Sit quietly for five minutes. Place your hand over your heart. Breathe deeply. Ask yourself:

What does my soul already know that my worried mind has forgotten?

Then listen.

You may discover that beneath all the noise, your soul has been patiently waiting—not condemning, not demanding, simply inviting you home to yourself. And as you remember your own divine nature, you may also remember your connection to every other soul seeking light, belonging, and love.

Because healing begins the moment we remember:

• We are never separated from Spirit.

• We are never meant to be separated from one another.

• We are only invited to Soul Remember.

Today, remember that we are surrounded by Blessings and Light,
